A. F. CORE WINDOW SET June 13, 1933.

Filed July 26, 1952 v 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENTOR ATTORNEY -Patented `lune 13, v1933 entren; rATEs .AAR-0N F. CORE, OF PIERRE, SOUTH DAKOTA WINDO SET Application led July 26, 1932.V Serial No. 624,844.

This invention relates to window sets and more particularly to the mounting of Astorm sashes or window screens and has for the prmary object, the provision of a device of the above stated character, whereby a storm sash or screen may be easily and quickly installed or removed from the inside of a window frame and when applied is so connected to the upper sash of the window that the opening or closing of said storm sash or screen will impart sliding movement to the upper sash for opening` and closing the latter.

Another object of this invention is the provision of an operating means between the storm sash or screen and the windo-w frame and the upper sash thereof for causing an outward and downward movement of the storm sash or screen when opening pressure is applied thereto without the upper end of the latter moving outwardly of the window frame and simultaneously causing a sliding movement of the upper window sash downwardly to provide ventilation and allowing the lower sash of the window to be opened and closed as usual.

Vith these and other objects in view, this invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described i and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 yis a rear elevation partly in section illustrating a window sash constructed in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1, illustrating a storm` Figure 7 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 7-7 of Figure 6.

Referring in detail to the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates a window frame having slidable upper and lower window sashes 2 and 3, both of which'are balanced by weights 4. Guides or tracks 4 are secured to the upper portion of the window frame 1 and are arranged vertically with their upper ends curved inwardly relative to the window frame as shown at 5. The lower portions of the guides or tracks 4 are engaged by pivotally mounted stops 6. The tracks 4 and stops 6 are carried by attaching plates 7 secured to the sides of the window frame by screws or like fasteners 8.

yA storm sash or screen frame 9 extends the full length and width of the frame 1 and has secured adjacent its upper edge brackets 10 engageable with the tracks 4 and when said brackets engage with the curved portions 5 of the tracks they cause an inward movement of the sash or screen frame 9 relative to lthe window frame 1 thereby establishing a tight lit therebetween. Th-e lower portion of the frame 9 carries a plate 11 to which is pivoted a button 12 engageable with a keeper 13 secured rto the sill 14 of the frame for locking the frame 9 in the window frame 1.

Brackets 15 are secured to the lower run of the upper sash 2 and have pivotally and detachably connected thereto the upper ends of operating armsor rods 16. The rods or arms 16 are pivotally connected to elements 17 liXed to the frame 9 which also have pivoted thereto braces 18 carrying pivots 19 operable in key hole slots 20 of channel iron plates 21 secured to the frame 1 by screws or like fasteners 22.

In operation whenl the device is positioned as shown in Figure'2, the button 12 is released from the keeper 13 and outwardpressure is exerted on the lower portion or edge of the frame 9 causing the latter to slide downward- 1y and outwardly into a position as shown in Figure 8, simultaneously sliding the upper sash 2 downwardly for the purpose of giving ventilation through the window frame 1'. The downward and outward movement of the frame 9 being limited by the stops 6. When the frame 9 is returned to a closed position as shown in Figure 2, the sash 2 is slid upwardly into a closed position. To remove the frame 9 from the frame l, the stops 6 are moved out of engagement with the tracks 4l and the pivots 19 are removed from the key hole slots of the plates 21 and the arms 1G are detached from the brackets l5, thus permitting complete detachment of the trame 9 from the frame l when the brackets l0 disengage from the tracks.

The device 9 may be in the form oi' a window screen or a storm sash or may be a closure for a store window or the like wherein it is sometimes desirous to remove the same for the purpose of conducting business and the like.

The storm sash or screen being connected to the usual counter-balanced upper sash of the window will provide a construction which will maintain the storm sash or screen at any of its positions after being manually moved into a position with freedom during its movement.

While I have shown and described the preerred embodiment of my invention, it will be understood that minor changes in construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be made without departing 'from the spirit and scope of my invention, as claimed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is l. In combination with a window frame having` slidable upper and lower sashes., an auxiliary frame carried by the window frame, means -for closing said auxiliary frame to form either au screen or a storm sash, means for slidably and detachably connecting the upper end of the auxiliary frame to the window frame, and an operating means between the upper sash, window frame and the auxiliary frame to cause opening and closing of the upper sash by the opening and closing` of the auxiliary frame.

2. In combination. with a window frame having slidable upper and lower sashes, an auxiliary trame carried by the windowframe, means for closing the auxiliary frame, tracks carried by the window frame, brackets secured to the upper portion of the auxiliary frame and engageable with the tracks, and an operating means between the upper sash and the auxiliary frame and the window frame.

3. In combination with a window frame having slidable upper and lower sashes, an auxiliary frame carried bythe window frame, means for closing the auxiliary frame, tracks carried by the window frame, brackets secured to the upper portion of the auxiliary frame and engageable with the tracks, an operating means between the upper sash and the auxiliary frame and the window frame, and lpivotal stops carried by the tracks to be and pivotally connected to the upper sash and pivoted to the auxiliary frame, braces pivoted to the auxiliary frame and pivotally and de tachably connected to the window frame to cause simultaneous opening and closing of the auxiliary frame and the upper sash with each other.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature.
